This is a nonprecedential decision that applies Matter of Hranka regarding an F2A visa holder based on marriage to a lawful permanent resident who committed a crime involving moral turpitude, which made him inadmissible. The Field Office Director concluded that the applicant failed to show he was rehabilitated for the crime of moral turpitude committed and that his admission would not be contrary to the national welfare, safety, or security of the U.S. The petitioner challenged his denied waiver of inadmissibility on appeal. The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) found that the applicant demonstrated rehabilitation and that his admission to the U.S. would not be contrary to the national welfare, safety, or security (AAO Aug. 18, 2024).
